Dr Claire Owen is an early career clinician-researcher and Deputy Director of Rheumatology at Austin Health, who graduated with a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Melbourne in January, 2021. Her thesis characterized the demographic, clinical, laboratory and imaging phenotype of PMR patients with a relapsing disease course. Results of this work additionally informed a proof-of-concept PET/MRI fusion study confirming peritendonitis as a pathologic hallmark of PMR and provided the basis for the development of a novel scoring algorithm for diagnosing PMR on whole body PET/CT. Currently, Claire leads the dedicated PMR/GCA Clinic at Austin Health. Since 2017, Claire has also been an active contributor to the PMR Working Group of OMERACT. In 2019, Claire accepted the position of PMR Working Group Co-Chair and is currently jointly responsible for overseeing the development of a core outcome measurement set for use in all future clinical research involving patients with PMR.
